Current rage of the internet watch forums - coined a nickname - the Citizen "Eco-zilla" - now taking the watch collector world by storm. A solar powered dive watch with its own zip code!
Ok - ok - when it comes to dive watches - size does matter. Don't wanna' be caught with a puny 40mm Rolex diver? Shamed by a 44mm Breitling or TAG? Want to look like a DIVER? Make no mistake - this watch is a MONSTER - 5/8" thick - 46mm case - 51mm if one includes the crown - puts other collectable diver watches to shame. BIG and bold with a massive stainess steel bracelet- enough blue lume in the hands and off the attractive black dial to light a city block. What more could a diver ask for? Well, how about 1000 ft water resistance? Oh brother!
Let's take a tour of this big chunk of real estate: this brute is THICK - sits on some wrists like a wall clock - the weight is bearable - one can get used to it. Petite ladies and men with thin wrist diameters may have problems keeping the watch from shifting around the wrist with the stainless bracelet that is too loosely sized. Recommend an adjustable neoprene strap model with a deployment clasp for these folks. Screw down crown - massive stainless steel bezel - solid bracelet links around the brushed stainless steel case. A mixed gas (valve) diver (for serious depth)- double clasp on the bracelet- wetsuit deployment clasp - solar powered - 5 to 6 month power reserve on a full charge. OHMY GOSH will be your response when you open the box.
Things to consider:
NOT a dress watch - Wearing a long sleeve dress shirt. Not with this watch. Need to be a pirate to fit it under your cuff! Better with short sleeves - no sleeves - wetsuit, bathing suit, birthday suit (j/k) or golf shirt for land lubbers!
The solar powered quartz movement may dampen the enthusiam of watch collectors who treasure automatic mechanical movements. As a solar powered timepiece - you can do your bit to save the environment. Read about the power system and impress your eco-friends! Should never need a replacement battery - as the "capacitor/battery" holds the solar generated charge.
Eco-zillas' crystal of 6mm (thick!!!) mineral glass will be more prone to scratching than a more expensive (and desirable) sapphire cyrstal - unidirectional bezel will offer the mineral glass watch face some protection however.
For left handers - the watch has a crown on the left side - right handers may wish to ponder a watch crown digging into the flesh of your left wrist. Lefties who wear it on right wrist will be in heaven.
Do you want one? Do you like to have people staring at your watch? "Are you a diver"? Really? Right! Say anything you want - no shame in just liking a massive piece of stainless steel on the wrist. Mostly damage proof - an indestructable timepiece for the diver, adventurer, sportsman or hunter. You cannot hurt this watch! Needs no "break in" period as does a auto mechanical diver - give it a full charge - clomp it on the wetsuit - and off we go!
Short of buying a "Russian Diver" you cannot buy a larger, and more attractive dive watch.
Citizen dealers offer a 5 year warranty. Great value for a HUGE Stainless Steel Diving Watch. Can't go wrong - no way - no how - if you love this watch - BUY IT!!!
